We love the Magic House, and thanks to Groupon, we will get to go a few more times for free! We went again yesterday, and I think Tripp's favorite part was the babies. He is quite enamored with babies and even enjoys giving them bottles. I am planning on capitalizing on this whenever he has a sibling!!
He also really loves boats (well any mode of transportation) and he couldn't get enough of the big water and boat area. We probably could have spent all our time there!
He has also been cracking us up with his talking lately. One conversation had to do with poopy (it was my facebook status a few days ago so I won't bore you with it again here) but today I was laughing really hard when I was trying on a new pair of pants I just got. I took off my pants to which Tripp quickly responded "oh no Mommy!!" and he ran over and patted my leg where my pants should have been. Then I put on my new pair of pants and he quickly exclaimed "Nice!! Nice pants Mommy!" I am not sure where this came from but I was laughing so hard. I felt so affirmed in my decision on the pants. I am definitely not returning them! Another funny, but also very awesome moment was yesterday when we were getting ready to pray before lunch and I said to Tripp that praying is when we talk to Jesus to which he promptly replied "Hello Jesus! I love you Jesus!!" and that's when the tears came for me and goosebumps for Nelson (who I promptly called on the phone and Tripp said the same thing, only this time for his dad to hear). I know that he doesn't fully understand what he is saying, but this is when it is pretty amazing to think about the covenant promises of our God and that an 18 month old covenant child is speaking truth, whether he knows it or not. Let's just say it's been a pretty awesome day today.

so precious Emily! He has the sweetest personality :)
Love, love, love this post. It's so rewarding when they start demonstrating that our prayers and efforts on their behalf are starting to bear fruit. And what a great son to affirm his mommy's clothing purchases!
I love the pants story! Also love the "Hello Jesus, I love you Jesus" one!! So precious!
